THE VIBRATION
OF DISC CAM
MECHANISM
YUKSEL YILMAZ and HIKMET KOCABAS Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, lstanbul Technical University, G/im/issuyu, 80181 Istanbul, Turkey (Received 21 April 1993; in revised form 27 September 1994; received for publication 11 October 1994)
Abstract--In this paper, the longitudinal vibrations of a follower which is the linear active component of a cam mechanism is studied as if it has a constant cross section. The basic Bernoulli method is applied to solve the partial differential .equation which is supplied by taking the viscous damping factor into consideration and by adding a new term. For the first time, in addition to the viscous damping, in this investigation, the internal damping term has been imposed to the motion of the follower. The resultant integration constants are determined by using the boundary conditions, and the eigen frequencies are calculated. As a result, two different families of eigen frequencies are remained. The results are formed as computer graphics to be easily understandable.

However the mass-spring systems with five degrees of freedom is represented by Janssen [5]. Some simplification is done by neglecting viscous damping factor too [6, 7]. Mathematical model with infinite degrees of freedom is important in the dynamic analysis and synthesis of disc cam mechanism, and this model is fitted to physical model. Only a few authors have taken the infinite degrees of freedom models into consideration to solve the eigen frequencies [8, 9]. In these papers, the authors applied different boundary conditions and neglected the damping ratio by accepting that it is not much effective on the amplitude of vibration [8]. As we agree with them about exhausting of considering this r damping ratio, it will be more appropriate to examine and see the results by considering the problem more general.
2. V I B R A T I O N E Q U A T I O N The mathematical model of the follower of cam mechanism that is considered as an elastic rod with damping is given in Fig. 2. A helical spring with the spring ratio of k is used to supply a continuous contact between the cam and the follower in this system. For this reason, the spring is pressed to apply an F0 initial force. The geometry or manufacturing profile of cam is determined so the shape of the follower can supply the s = s ((p) motion, where the cross section of the follower is F, its length L, density p, the internal damping ratio c and the elasticity modulus E. Here tp is the rotation angle of cam. s = s (tp) can be arbitrarily selected by following some criterions. The mass reduced from the active components of cam mechanism and roller mass m r on x axis is accepted as M. The displacement of cross section, which is rectangular to x axis of the follower, is represented by u (x, t ) as a function o f x and t time. The differential equation is known as [10, 11]: E O2u

The equation of motion for cam mechanism is usually selected on periodical of trigonometric function. In case some other motions are selected, these motions can also be converted to the periodical or trigonometrical function by using Fourier transformation. Here, however, the following equation has been chosen to simplify studies. This does not affect the generality of the investigation. The essential motion equation of the cam manufacturing profile is selected as S ( cp) = H (cos tot + sin cot)

The drawings of u~(x, t) and u2(x, t) are useful for understanding and following easily the event, by taking x coordinate on the rod axis and t time as parameters for coki> CO= constant. With the values cot = 150, co2 = 250, co3 = 1300 and CO4~ - 2 0 0 0 , UI(X , t, CO= constant) surfaces can be seen in Figs 4, 5, 6 and 7. In this paper, we have not given the expressions of B0 and BI constants derived by equalizing the constants of cos cot and sin COt in equation (15) while drawing u t (x, t, co = constant) amplitude, because the mathematical expressions of these constants are too long. The numerical values of them are calculated by the use of computer and u~ (x, t, CO= constant) amplitudes are drawn in 3 dimensional form. U

At the other side, c d a m p i n g ratio and M mass are i m p o r t a n t for the effect on co eigen frequency. These graphics can be seen in Figs 8, 9, 10 and 11. These four eigen frequencies are recalculated by accepting c as constant, while M is changing. Some numerical sample values are given in Table 3.
CONCLUSIONS A l t h o u g h the following conclusions have been obtained t h r o u g h the interpretation o f a single case studied, these conclusions should be easily applied to m o s t o f the cases. That is to say that the following conclusions are in fact general remarks for the problem involved. 1. ~Oki and ogki*, i = 1, 2, 3, 4 eigen frequencies are differing from each other only in decimal degrees. F o r example, while ~Ok~= 202.8139, C0*~= 202.7203. So that it can be sufficient to calculate only ~ok~s instead of calculating all eigen frequencies. 2. The effect o f c d a m p i n g ratio is low for first, second, third and fourth eigen frequencies while it is high for the higher degree eigen frequencies from Tables 1 and 2. F o r instance while ~k4 = 3876.6180, 09*4 = 3875.9067. 3. The eigen frequencies can be calculated for the various reduced mass M values while c d a m p i n g ratio is constant. In this situation, as the mass becomes small, the values o f eigen frequencies increase. Table 3. Numerical sample values of eigen ~equencies ~kl
